Click here for an interesting account of a recent debate on whether or not the teachers’ unions are responsible for failing schools. Before the debate, the audience was polled on the question, with 43% agreeing, 24% disagreeing, and 33% undecided. After the debate had ended, 68% agreed that the unions were responsible for failing schools, 25% disagreed, and 7% remained undecided. You can watch the video by clicking here and then clicking on the “Audio/Video” link. In addition, you can cast your own vote on the motion (at press time, the results were 58% agreeing, 36% disagreeing, and 6% undecided).
